Establishing Control Frequency of Embryonic and Fetal Loss in a Mutant Mouse Colony.

Abstract excerpt

In the analysis of prenatal lethal recessive mutations, one must account for embryonic losses that are not related to the mutant phenotype. This protocol details the way to determine what the background level of unrelated embryonic loss is by a simple backcrossing strategy in the particular mouse strain that carries the lethal recessive mutation.
